@Zhabeego: lol really? To each their own I guess! Not sure that I’d be posting my birthing videos for the world to see, but I thought it was a well done video.

I did think they over-emphasized the rainbow thing… down to her nails having a rainbow manicure and everything. But I don’t know the background story…maybe it was a big loss or something. I thought the quality of the filming was good. I’ve never seen a birth video that didn’t look like it was just filmed with a cell phone or cheap camera 🙂

@MrsPhilly: Looked like a lot of narcissistic attention seeking to me. Way to milk that miscarriage f.or sustained attention and sympathy.

Not to mention they appear to be the type of people who have taken up parenthood and childbirth like a new religion. I stopped watching at the point they made the younger kids worship The Belly by painting it.

@Zhabeego: lol I love your take on it! I like seeing it from both sides – you’re right… It is very narcissistic (sp?) and I did feel that for a family that appears to be very into all things natural and creating a plethera of children, they did really go into overdrive on the rainbow thing. But overall I still liked it!

@MrsPhilly: wow, thanks for sharing. So much love in this video! My FI watched with me and we were both very moved. I had to google what a rainbow baby is, but the video brought me to tears 🙂 and the other kids were so adorable.

@Zhabeego:I stopped watching at the point they made the younger kids worship The Belly by painting it.

So you barely made it through the first minute. I’m not the crunch granola type, but having watched the whole video, I thought was touching. My initial thoughts were to eyeroll, but it did become a very special video. To each their own.

@letigre: Yeah I liked how involved the kids were in the birthing process.. and the hubby was so in tune with her… it was great. If I were braver, I would attempt a home water birth. But I’m not preggo yet… See how baby #1 goes, and then maybe try it with baby #2

It was a nice video but honestly, I don’t get the need to share such an intimate, private, special experience with a bunhc of strangers on the internet. If you want that video for yourself or close family/friends, great. But, I just don’t understand what you get out of putting it on youtube, other then attention and validation from strangers (and why do you need that anyways?!)

@Zhabeego: I had to look up what a rainbow baby is, but I didn’t see it the way you do. There was very little of “pimping their miscarriage” in the rest of the video. Regardless, if this is how they heal from their loss, then power to them.
